The Truth About 'the God Makers' by Gilbert W. Scharffs

This is a great counterargument to 'The God Makers' and exposes how radically false and inflammatory 'The God Makers' is.

Mormonism in Germany;: A history of the Church of… by Gilbert W Scharffs

Gil Scharffs is a family friend. He worked with my father in 1959-6? as a part time seminary teacher. He also worked part time for the Utah Symphony and helped us get tickets for many of their performances. This history of the Church in Germany is poignant.
